So, I know this has been tried before but I'm going to attempt to start a thread for the purpose of the explanation of Christianity.
All questions are welcomed but it'd be really cool if only one or two were asked at a time until the previous questions are resolved.
The questions can pertain to Christians as a whole or my own personal faith and beliefs. Also if the questions could remain focused on Christianity and not just become flame it would be great.
Please avoid needless debate as there are plenty of forums on this subject for debate.
Samy, I'm not quite sure how the "option three" time line works. Did god create the first cell, wait for it to evolve into complicated lifeforms, and then the garden of Eden occurred?
Correct, or at least events that would symbolize the Garden of Eden. God would have guided evolution.
Wouldn't it make more sense to regard the entire pre-awareness stretch of time as a metaphorical Garden? In other words, the entire world was a Garden from the creation of the first cell until humans devoloped self-awareness, and thus were able to sin.
So your ignoring me? Great way to win debates. How hard is it to type 314d1, 314, pi, or atleast 3?
Your ignoring everything I said in the first post, if you ask one question then I wouldn't care and if it wasn't something stupid like "why do you believe?" this is for questions that can be answered without calling for faith.
You believe that God "bred" us?
If you want to say it like that sure although guided our creation would be a better way to put it.

Very interesting point. I suppose that this is a possibility but it would take a little from the power of God. I'll definitely think about this though as it makes a lot of sense.

How is "Why do you believe" stupid? You need to know as much as you can to get a good phycological understanding of it.
No offence if I am wrong, but with the limmited knologe of you I have, I would assume you had a Cristian up brining do to no reason besides faith. Am I correct?
And in a way you aswered the question: Why you believ: Blind faith, What proof do you have: None (Or as previosly stated the bible, though it is none scientific)

I'd suggest downloading Chrome or Safari as your spelling is terrible.
Seriously if your just going to flame this leave, my knowledge of this seems to be much greater than yours as you can't even follow the rules in the OP. This thread was created for the purpose of debunking myths and to help peoples understanding of Christianity not to discuss faith as there are plenty of forums for that. My entire world is not based on science (neither is anyone else's with friends or that breaths really.) My proof is not in the form of science and I have outlined it before if you'd like to talk about it post on my profile but this thread is not for the purposes your trying to make it for.
Has anyone noticed that in less civilized countries , they are more "religious". This is because they do not have science to prove the Big Bang and all of that stuff. If they had science when they wrote the bible it would be different.

Really? Becase as I can see your doing the old "Pretend you won and run away crying" some people seem to do. I have asked actual questions, yes slightly agressive questions, but they are ligitimit questions. So far you have not givin a ligitimit question, only slightly-agressive responses having little to do with the topic. So are you going to answer any of the questions I have brought up?
I think I will start with the standard: Do you have any proof? If your god is all loving then why is he so violent? Why did he only dicide to speak to people in the middle east? Why is there antigens if your god exists? Why have no studies proven praying to be effective? Why is Cristianity used as a political tool in so many cases? Why dosen't god protect Cristians like in the bible? Why do you ignore all controdicting proof of your riligion? I think that should be a good start
guys seriously this is just a friendly debate. Even though this is on a touchy subject, we do not have to flame, if you want to flame you can flame to the Mods but do not do it here. Lots of people would just want to post here but the flame war going on is repulsive.
Okay numbers lets do this then (seriously though spell check?)
1. Well, it's called faith so direct proof in the form of the five senses hasn't happened for around 1970 years. My faith comes from the indirect proof of community, the bible, and personal experiences. 2. Ah, a difficult question. This is best answered by stating that God is also all just and has the right to judge because he created the laws of the universe. If a threat is posed to his chosen people (the Israelites) he tends to get a little upset but he also isn't happy when they rebel against him either. Specific examples would make it easier to answer however. 3. As we all should know by now humanity has it's roots in Africa and the Middle East. God would speak to the first humans and then through them into their decedents. 4. Oh that's an easy one. When man discovered sin perfection become imperfection causing the creation of antigens and other harmful substances. 5. A natural study cannot prove something supernatural to be true that's just common logic. I know people who have been healed and know people that have seen healing. God knows what is best for us so prayers are answered in the best way for an individual. 6. Ignorance. It generally pisses me off as well so maybe we do agree on one thing. God is not a republican or democrat and (as said by an atheist) Jesus ignored politics as there are more important things in this world. 7. Define protect? In all circumstances the will of God prevails above that of man meaning that God allows knows what is best. Jesus says that Christians will endure trials it should not be asked while some Christians undergo trials but why some do not. 8. Like? This is an argument used a lot but it seems that there isn't much behind it.
Okay, now please only debate back to one or two at a time otherwise some of the questions may not be answered completely and I do have other things to do =P
P.S. The whole numbers thing is love hate ya know?
I have a question: What evidence is there for things like god, jesus being who the bible says he is instead of a normal guy who liked to preach, and any of the other supernatural things stated in the bible? The bible itself is in no way evidence. It has been written by people who had very little understanding of the world and of science.
My entire world is not based on science (neither is anyone else's with friends or that breaths really.)
